I’ve had 2 whyte’s in the past and they’ve both been great. If I was in the market for a long travel HT then the 900,series would definitely be in my shortlist

Absolutely

I’ve entered, cant wait to go tearing around degla in the dark !

Mudhugger for sure

No.

Ok out back but on the front……washout

……it’s the wrong…….wheel size.

I do like these threads, I’m niceic registered as approved contractor and jib graded approved electrician, I charge £25/hr plus £5/hr for my apprentice. I find with domestic no one wants to pay, glad I don’t deal with domestic installations. Now commercial/industrial I get told I’m to cheap ! …… just saying

It’s a riders skills that lets people down rather than lack of travel so from what you have described and in my opinion I’d say 100mm travel full sus would be fine, cannondale every time

Hi I race in ff and do the practice on the sat in ff I’m sketchy though 😆

I’d say the problem here is casing the landing 😀

XX1 group set, wide bars and 2.25 tyres on my 26″ xc bike

Raleigh activator circa 1993 thought it was amazing at the time, how things change !

I stuck to the training plan, 3 hours unstructured xc on sat 3 hour road zone 2 Sunday 5 mile xc run this morning…… still don’t win anything though 🙂

I’m racing all mids,welsh and nps in elite. I to am on a 26″ flash (one of only three at sherwood in elite,as gee says the hard part is going from expert to elite i was that 5th rider at the end of 2011. I’m 32 with a full time job (electrician) and a young family, i train around 10 hours a week

470 miles, two races the rest all structured training/riding dictated my power meter

Yeah Pete he hit the tree at the bottom on the left of the run out after loosing control after going over to two consecutive root droops towards the bottom

HI Pete thanks for your help, he’s had an operation today where they have pinned and wired his broken in half knee cap and are keeping him in tonight. The bike/frame is a write off the forks have pushed back into the head tube and snapped the down tube so I suppose a positive is a new carbon frame is required

Cheers guys, i’ll pop and visit him at Russells Hall this evening. Sargey yeah thats the descent you got it, it’s sketchy !

Results now live on SIP events site

SIP events uk have done the timing I’m sure they’ll be published soon

Somethings not right here

On a work front not very good at all (self employed electrician) ive worked about 4 days since jan 3rd, I have managed to get out on the bike a lot more though but unfortunately it doesn’t pay the bills

Yeah 26″ here 😉

All my bikes are dales and mtb’s have lefty but my lbs sort them out. So I’m no help tbh but I do have lefty’s

Racing Ralphs

@Khani made me laugh out loud which takes alot !

Whyte 29c full xtr replaced with a cannondale flash ultimate 2012 26″

so sad 🙁 RIP

haha this has made me laugh out loud very good 🙂

going bankrupt and drawing a line under all of it!

I had a whyte 829 training bike and a whyte 29c race bike, the latter had full xtr group etc I rode/raced these for this year but now I’m back on a 26″ I much prefer 26″. oil beck doesn’t seem to have a problem winning national elite xc races on a 26″

the only way to prevent this really is by having 2 cx bikes and a pit bitch with a jet wash, at the national trophy yesterday I was changing bikes every lap and those that Had problems were guys with only one bike

heart rate that’s an old hat now were on power meters now you know 😉

Sram red first time every time, end of thread

5 days to glue/aqua seal really, anyway if your not racing then I really wouldn’t bother with tubs as its A LOT of faff if you puncture. If I were you I’d just run a set of challenge open tubulars which are clinchers with latex tubes

I use this have done for a while every training ride is logged via my power meter. I haven’t used one of there programs as I’m coached independently but I know people who do and are impressed with it

way to much faff just buy a complete new bike problem solved 🙂

can’t go wrong with Ralph’s ,if it’s really muddy around there then I’d use rocket rons

cannondale super X
